INJECTION APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 5, 1910.

Application filed August 28, 1909. Serial No. 515,079.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, l VALTER S. Romans and J UAN SEIN, citizens of theUnited States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso, State ofTexas, have invented a new and useful Injection Apparatus, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for use in douching or injectingwith chemically treated fluids and one of its objects is to provide asimple form of apparatus designed to be connected to an ordinary hot andcold combination faucet, whereby water of a predetermined temperaturecan be directed into a container prior to being discharged to a nozzleconnected thereto.

Another object is to provide a container having simple means whereby thecontents thereof can be thoroughly mixed prior to their dischargetherefrom.

Another object is to provide an arrangement of valves for controllingthe supply and discharge of the fluid.

WVith these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certainnovel details of construction and the combinations of parts hereinaftermore fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings: Figure 1 is a view partly in vertical section andpartly in elevation, of the apparatus, a portion of the faucet to whichit is connected being shown. Fig. 2 is a section on line A-B, Fig. 1.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates atubular body preferably formed of heavy glass and the ends of this bodyare seated within circular grooves 2 formed within heads 3 which can bemade of porcelain, metal, or any other material which will not corrode.These heads extend beyond the body 1 and are tied together and heldfirmly on the ends of the body by means of rods 4 on which are mountedadjusting nuts 5. The lower head 2 is preferably thickened at thecenter, as shown at 6 and has a socket 7 therein. The other head has aninlet opening 8 designed to be closed by means of a screw cap 9 and acentrally disposed gland 10 is mounted on this head and has a shaft 11extending therethrough. The lower end of the shaft is reduced indiameter, as shown at 12, and is seated in the socket 7 while the upperend has a crank 13 attached to it to facilitate the rotation thereof.Blades 14 extend laterally from the lower portion of the shaft and lieclose to the lower head 3. An inlet pipe 15 opens through the upper head3 and has a valve 16 therein for controlling the supply of liquid to thecontainer made up of body 1 and heads 3. One end of the inlet pipe has anipple 17 thereon from which extends a flexible tube 18, which, as shownin Fig. 1, may be detachably secured to the outlet portion 19 of acombination faucet 20. A discharge nipple 21 extends from the lower head3 and is provided with a valve 22 for controlling the escape of fluidtherethrough. This nipple is designed to be engaged by one end of aflexible tube 23 to which a nozzle mav be attached.

Although the apparatus has been shown and described as connected to thefaucet by means of a flexible tube 18, it is to be understood that itcan be made a permanent fixture by connecting it to a combination hotand cold water valve by means of a nonflexiblejoipe.

In using the apparatus herein described, the chemical to be mixed withthe water is placed in the container by removing the cap 9. Afterreplacing the cap, the valves of the combination faucet 20 can be openedto admit water of a desired temperature to the inlet pipe 15 and thedischarge of this water into the container may be controlled by means ofvalves 16. After the water enters the container it can be thoroughlymixed with the chemical previously placed therein by rotating shaft 11and blades 14:. After the mixing operation, valve 22 can be opened andthe mixture will thus flow through the tube 23 to the nozzle. It will benoted that the heads 3 can be readily removed from the body 1 for thepurpose of cleaning the interior of the container. By making the body 1of glass or other transparent material, it can be readily determinedwhen the contents have been properly mixed.

It is of course to be understood that various changes may be made in theconstruction and arrangement of the parts without departing from thespirit or sacrificing the advantages of the invention.

What is claimed is 1. Apparatus of the class described including acontainer, a valved inlet pipe opening thereinto, a valved outlet, and arevoluble mixing device within and extending close to the walls of thecontainer.

2. Apparatus of the class described including a container, a valvedinlet pipe 0 ening thereinto, there heingan inlet in tl fe container, aremovable closure for the inlet, a valved outlet, and a manuallyoperated revoluble mixing device within the container.

3. Apparatus of the class described including a transparent tubularbody, heads removably mounted upon the ends thereof, a valved inlet pipeopening through one of the heads, a valved outlet member opening throughthe other head and a manually operated revoluble mixing device mountedbe tween the heads and extending close to the walls of the body.

4. Apparatus of the class described including a tubular transparentbody, heads upon the ends thereof, one of said heads having a socket,tie devices detach-ably connecting the heads and outside of the body, avalved inlet opening through one of the 1 heads, a valved outlet openingthrough the other head, a revoluble shaft seated at one end of thesocket, and mixing devices extending from the shaft.

5. Apparatus of the class described in cluding a tubular transparentbody, heads detachably mounted upon the ends thereof, tie devicesdetachably connecting the heads and disposed outside of the body, valvedmeans for directing fluid into the body, valved means for, conveyingfluid therefrom, a shaft revolubly mounted within the heads, means forrotating the shaft, and mixing devices radiating from the shaft.

6. Apparatus of the'class described including a separable containerhaving a transparent portion, said container being also provided with aninlet and an outlet, a shaftmounted for rotation within the container,means for rotating the shaft and mixing blades radiating from the shaftadjacent the bottom of the container.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have heretoaliixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
